Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport

Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport, commonly known as Salta Airport, serves the city of Salta, the capital of Salta Province in northwestern Argentina. It is one of the busiest airports in the country outside the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, handling both domestic and international flights. The airport is named after Martín Miguel de Güemes, a hero of the Argentine War of Independence and a prominent figure in the region's history. Its location near the Andes and the scenic landscapes of the northwest makes it a key entry point for tourism to the area, including destinations such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Puna plateau. The airport handles significant traffic from Buenos Aires and has connections to other Argentine cities, as well as limited international services. It plays a vital role in connecting the economically and culturally distinct northwestern region to the rest of Argentina and beyond.
